Pentagon Diverts Drones From Afghanistan to Bolster U.S. Campaign Next Door

WASHINGTON—The U.S. military is secretly diverting aerial drones and weaponry from the Afghan battlefront to significantly expand the CIA's campaign against militants in their Pakistani havens.

My Comment: Where is the debate in Congress? Where is the debate in the media? Where are the mass demonstrations against the war (both here and abroad)? Why are all of our political leaders, academics, religious leaders (including Muslims), NGOs, public figures .... and everyone else .... quiet?

What is my take .... it seems that many of us now realize that this war against radical Islam is going to be with us for a very long time .... and in a strange we have now accepted this conflict as a normal part of our lives. It impacts us .... but not directly (unless you have a family member in the military).

Hence .... the CIA's not so secret war in Pakistan escalates .... and we all accept it without discussing and/or debating on what the consequences will be for us if this continues.
